Manan: Magic is in you (episode 2)

Hey guys I am again back…thanks preeti for encouraging me…so here it goes..

Amms stands at the door with a straight face without any expressions while Navni looks at her in tension…

Amms“What happened???”

Nandu “Oho amms… Now plz don’t increase the suspense… Just blurt it out at once…”

Navya”yaa amms say na…”

Amms“Ok fine… Here are your boths admission letter’s and you both are also coming with us next month…”

Navni“Yay!!!!!!”

Ansh “That means amma now we will shift there??”

Amms nods…

Navni looks on confused… they looks at abhi…

Navya “Why??? Why shift??”

Mansi“navu… There is something which you both need to know….”

Abhi“Maa… Let’s just show them na… We all will shift there tomorrow only…”

They all nod…while Navni looks on confused.

The next day..

Navni gets emotional while the Murthy family moves out of the house…

Abhi keeps the hand on their shoulders…
Navya “bhai… We spent our whole childhood in this house… And we are leaving it forever today…”

Abhi “Haa navu… But this is life… We have to move on… Our real world is waiting for us…”

Nandu “Real world…??”

Abhi nods “We are not what you think… Rest you both will know as you as you step in our world”

Navni looks on…

Amms “Shall we leave??”
All nod…

They all board a taxi and move to bandra railway station…

After reaching the station navya looks at their ticket and is shocked…

Nav:nandu look at our tickets the platform number is wrong its written as 9 3/4..🤣😂🤣

Nandu:yaa there is a mistake here…

Abhi:U silly twins just shut up we are going to our world..and it’s the rgt..platform…

Navni:WHAT???

Ansh “But amma… We could have gone there directly… ”

Amms “ansh… Your daughters and son would have been left here… They are still untrained…”

Ansh “Oh… I forgot…”

Nav “What are they talking about?”

Abhi “About apparating….”

Nandu“Huh…???”

Abhi“I mean going from one place to another in a second without boarding any vehicle or moving from our initial place…”

Nandu“But how can we do that… These I have read– Wait a second… That means Wizards and witches do exist and amms Mom and Papa are one of them???”

Abhi “We all are one of them Nandu… And btw congrats… You both unlocked ​the main mystery…”

Navni widens their eyes…

Abhi“Its ok… I was also shocked when i heard it first time…”

Navni“Who said we are shocked… (Now Abhi is shocked) we had always expected something like this… Wow… we are witch…!!”

Amms “children … Are you ready??”

They nod…

Amms takes out her wand… She rotates it twice in air and points at the wall b/w no. 9 and 10 platform…

Amms “Alohomora”

The door appears and unlocks…

Nandu“Interesting… It means we already know many of the spells!!”

Abhi “You do!!????”

Nav:Of course… we had been researching on them for years now…

Nandu:Now i understood… Why I was so fascinated towards all these… And why I can do that without anything when you all need training…

Abhi :I thought at least for the first time i will have more information than you both devil’s but you both are as usual… How come you get to know everything so fast???

Nandu :Because I am Nandini!! Nandini Murthy!!

She says dramatically while running her fingers on the locks falling on her face…

Nav:and I am Navya Murthy…

Abhi: Idiots!!

They trio laugh…

Mansi :Girls and abhi come on… Else the muggles will see us…

Abhi: Muggles means–

Nandu :The normal human being who aren’t even aware of the M of magic…

Ansh’s jaw dropped knowing they already knew it…

Abhi :Its ok papa… they knows much more than that…

Nav:especially Nandu…I am aware of only few things..

Amms smiles and says in mind “That’s why she is special… But still incomplete… Don’t know who will complete her and when will they meet…”

They all enter the wall….and later a phone booth
Amms receives the phone and whispers Hecate Witchcrafts and Wizarding College

Abhi:That’s the name of our college…

Nandu: Interesting…

Mansi: nandu… You said interesting… That means you know something…

Nandu smiles :The College is named after the Greek Goddess of Magic Hecate….

Abhi: I don’t believe this… She knows more than half of the things…

Nav:yaa even I am surprised…I wish I would have read the books abt it…when she was reading..

Nandu:Its ok na bhai… You tell me the other half…and ofcourse navu everything…

Abhi: Thank you for the privilege madam…

Nandu:It’s ok… You know i am so kind hearted….

Abhi hits her on her head…

Nandu: Ouch!!!

They trio laugh…

Suddenly ​Navni feels like being squeezed…

Nav :What is happening???

Abhi: Its ok… We are going to our destination… Initially you will feel like this but then this will be like used to…”

They all get squeezed in first and within seconds squeezed out of the trunk of a large Banyan Tree…

Amms: Thank you Ficus…

The tree opens it’s eyes and speaks…

Ficus :Always at your service professor…

Navni’s jaw drops…. They mouth WOW…

Abhi: There will be more such wows…

Navni: I am eager for it…

Amms:Nandu Navu since you both are not yet admitted officially here… So I  cannot take you both to college right now… After 15 days,the orientation will take place then only you both can step in college…

Navni nods…

Abhi: amms … I trust navu but not Nandu… She will definitely sneak in there…”

Amms: Dont worry… No one can breach Hecate’s  security… I myself look after that…

Nandu: Don’t worry amms … I won’t disobey you…

Abhi:I doubt…

Mansi:Me too…

Ansh:Me as well…

Amms:Even me…

Ragini fumes…and looks at Navya

Nav: don’t look at me like that…if saying the truth though u r my twin…I still doubt..

Others laugh seeing her expressions…

After sometime…

The Murthy’s are in their new house in a place called Hogsmede located near Hecate….

Nandu:Won’t we get our wands… Even bhai has one…

Ansh: Ya Nandu… We are going to the Hogsmede Alley to get you and navu the things required for your study and stay here…

Navu: I will also go…

Mansi: You both have to… Wands select their owners… You cannot get a wand unless you go…

Nandu: Perfect…

Abhi:I am also coming… I have some work in the Alley…

Ansh nods…

The Hogsmede Alley….

Ansh, abhi and Navni reach the Alley….

Abhi: Papa… I have some work… You go with this both … I will meet you in an hour near Hogsbar…”

Ansh nods…

Abhi goes…

Nandu: Papa… You saw that happiness and eagerness in bhai’s eyes… It was like a child saw a chocolate house…”

Ansh: he must have gone to meet his friends that’s why he looked happy…”

Nav:Ya… Possible…

Nandu(In mind) No popsy… You are very innocent… That happiness was of something else… Anyways i will find it out tonight…

She smirks…

They go to Wandatorium…

As soon as they enter the shop, Nandu feels that her heart skipped a beat… She felt restless…

Manik is in the inner room of Wandatorium… He feels as if someone is compelling him to run outside…

He is there to polish his wand…
The worker finds him lost…

Worker:Sir… What else is to be done…

Manik (coming out of his world) :Ah… Make the grip more comfortable… Will you??

Worker :It will be done in half an hour sir…

Manik: Good… You do it and I will just check on Mukti di… Don’t know where she went suddenly… she didn’t let me know as well… Has become clever…”

The worker smiles…

He goes out…

Manik (in mind) :Why is it like some force is pulling me outside… This urge is irresistible…

He hurries out…

There Nandu also feels the same…

Nandu(In mind) :Why am I feeling so restless… Yet an unknown peace is there… Everything feels so right… So good at the moment…

Nav: what happened???..don’t u want a wand??

Ansh talks with the shop owner Then calls out Navni …

Navni:Yes papa… we are coming…”

Navni goes from there with ansh and the shop owner to other room…
As soon as she goes in, Manik comes out of the room and looks here and there…

They miss to see each other…

Manik:I should look for Mukti…”

He goes out…

The owner shows wands to Navni…first navya sees the wands and only one of then releases magical dust…

Ansh:navu the wand chose u…this is the wand for u…

Nav:yaa papa it’s really beautiful…

She was holding a brown wand having climber like design on it..

Ansh:now nandu ur turn..

Nandu takes a wand and swings it…
Everytime she swings a wand a magical dust escapes it…

Owner:Interesting… She is also capable of handling any wand…

Nandu: But none of these interests me…

Ansh:What do you want then?

Nandu: Can I take a round and then i will select the one i like… Will that be ok?

Owner nods….

Nandu: roams around in the room…
She touches several wands but doesn’t find them alluring…
She passes by various shelves but still looks uninterested…
Suddenly her eyes fall on a royal blue velvet box…

Nandu:Uncle,it also has wand?

Owner looks on surprisingly… Ansh notices it…

Owner :Yes my dear… That wand is very special… Only three were made of this quality… Now only this is left… The special thing is that it is free of cost…

Nandu: Still unsold!!!

Owner :Wands select the owners dear… And this wand has selected none till now… The other two are already out… Don’t know whom will it select…

Nandu:Can I see it?

Owner :Sure… Its my work…

The owner brings the box and opens it…

Nandu is fascinated by the view of the wand… A long,slender, fragile to look at but strong,shiny black wand lies before her eyes… Her eyes glitter seeing it…

Ansh also mouths WOW seeing the wand…

Nandu picks it up and automatically the magical dusts starts coming out of its end… She swirls it in the air and the dust forms her name written beautifully in the air “NANDINI”
The dust then turns to rose petals and falls on the four of them like someone is showering flowers…

Nandu:Perfect… I want this one…

Owner (Still in Awe) :No my dear… The wand wants you… It has selected you as it’s owner…

Ansh:What is its speciality?

Owner :It contains the hairs of the three most magical and powerful creatures on earth… Unicorn, Dragon and Phoenix… Ficus is immortal… We all know that… It has shed only one branches till now… And from that one branche,These three wands were made… Hence it is unbreakable… All the three wands are equally powerful but if two wands are merged together,None can defeat it… Only the special ones have these wands… Mr. Murthy… Your daughter is one of them…”

Ansh forces a smile but is worried…

Nandu and navu are busy admiring their wand so they don’t listen to them…

Nandu:Uncle I am sure there must be something written about this wand anywhere..

Owner :In the box…

Nandu:Excellent… Thank you…

She continues admiring it…

Ansh:May I know the name of other two purchasers…??

Owner:Well one is Raj Malhotra’s younger Son…

Ansh: You mean professor Raj Malhotra???

Owner nods :And the other is—

They hear lots of noise and turn to look at its direction outside….
